How we handle air conditioning servicing in Artington
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. Typical jobs include F-gas leak checks falling due and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Artington, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Common questions in Artington
Will you come out to Artington?
Yes. Artington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does my air con in Artington need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we will give you an idea when we book.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What affects the quote in Artington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How many units are involved
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We plan the trip to Artington around you.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Hold on to every service report
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote so you don’t have to remember.
Do not ignore small changes. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
